Presentation Project

I was shocked when Marc came home with this week's homework assignment. He had to chose an animal that hibernates in the winter. He chose a frog. He had to create a frog out of materials we had around the house. He chose to make his frog out of play-dough. i think he had fun being creative.This is his finished frog. Do you see a frog? ;) Not a bad job for him, being 6 years old, doing it ALL by himself. I am sure there will be "better" creations from some of the kids, but I like to see what he can do all by himself! :)
He also had to make a poster or book answering 4 questions about the frog's hibernation habits. He will have to present the information he learned to the rest of his class tomorrow.
Man they start 'em young! But, I guess it is good practice for when he gets older. :)
All in all, I think he did a GREAT job on his first class project presentation. :) I am very proud of my little boy...who isn't so little any more!! :)

Gingerbread Boy

Every year our local library here in Cedar Springs sponsors a gingerbread house decorating day. The kids can come in and the librarians have the house pre-made out of graham crackers and icing. They have bags of icing and various "decorations" for the kids to use. They had sprinkles, candy, cereal, pretzels, and a few other things. Daddy had to show Marc how to squeeze the icing out of the bag and onto the house.
Marc had trouble figuring out what to do first......
But then quickly go into it. :)
We finally had to tell him that it was time to be done because there wasn't much room for anything else.
His beautifully "sweet" house is now decorating our kitchen counter. It looks good enough to eat. ;)
